Tax deferral option aids older homeowners in Wilson County
Older Texans 65 and up can postpone delinquent and current property taxes via an over-65 deferral by filing a deferral affidavit with the Wilson County Appraisal District. The filing stops ongoing tax lawsuits as long as the owner occupies the home, but interest continues to accrue and penalties may apply after deferral ends.
